The Old Head of Kinsale is located on a breathtaking headland that stretches some three kilometers into the Atlantic Ocean. The world-class golf course in County Cork on the south-west coast of Ireland was conceived by John O'Connor and his brother Patrick. The course was designed jointly by Ron Kirby, Australian golf course architect Paddy Merrigan, Irish pro Liam Higgins, course designer Eddie Hackett, amateur Joe Carr and contractor Haulie O'Shea. You can enjoy a wonderful view of the sea from all holes.
